Calabria is primarily mountainous and hilly with a vast differences of climate. The Tyrrhenian and Ionian Sea contribute to wind-varying thermal conditions on the coastal lands and on the other hand, inland areas have hot summers and cold winters; both areas have rain in the summer and winter.

Calabria has four main winemaking areas that produce eight DOC wines of which ninety-four percent are red or rose. The famous DOC wine of Calabria is Ciro, produced from the Gaglioppo grape and grown for thousands of years in the region.
